LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksMy forum opens by the link of xxx.exofire.net/forum, but it shows the index page when i enter xxx.exofire.net
I am not sure how i can redirect it so it opens xxx.exofire.net/forum.
Also, does anyone know good websites for free ipb skins?
Thanks

If you want the forum to be the main page of your site then you need to have it installed there, and not at /forum/. Otherwise you will need to create a main index page that will link to the forum if browsers wish to go there.Originally Posted by kaze105

As sugested by jamiestewart48, in xxx.exofire.net create this file
File name: index.php
If you want to do it in html,PHP Code:<?php
header("Location: /forum");
?>
File name: index.html
HTML Code:<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://xxx.exofire.net/forum/"> </head> <body> </body> </html>

When you say to create this file, do you mean to create it in public_html in file manager?
(Sorry, very new to this)

Yes, if you are new to websites then this simple method should help:
- Open up Notepad in windows
-Copy the HTML code as written by gomarc:and paste it into Notepad (Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste), changing xxx to your domain.HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="0;url=http://xxx.exofire.net/forum/">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Once you've done that, select File>Save As..., and in the file name type in index.html
In the file type drop-down, select All files.
Save the HTML file to a directory on your computer.
Then go to cPanel on your site, select Legacy File Manager, and then select the file on your computer that you want to upload. Make sure that you've selected the public_html directory, and that there aren't any other index.htm, .html or .php etc files in the directory.
Once you've selected upload, open a new tab and test that what you've just done works.
The site should momentarily display a white screen (the page you created), and then it should redirect to your forum directory as instructed in the HTML code previously.
I'm sorry if I've made the guide too simple, I don't know how much experience you have.
Hope this helps!
